Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
I'm reading a book on the Guadalcanal campaign in WWII. I was curious if the loss of the Australian heavy cruiser Canberra during the battle of Savo Island was a big deal in Australia. Is it something that most people are still aware of now?
It's not well-known here. I think the Guadalcanal campaign is viewed as an American action, it doesn't affect the national psyche much. There is a memorial to the HMAS Canberra in Canberra, though.
*They were talking shit about Bob Bob. It was deserved.
Do not fuck with the bon or she will take you out! Anonymously.

And although I didn't get video of Roman face-washing Noah, I did catch him licking Noah's arm. This is the face Noah makes whenever a dog gets close to his face. He's learned to expect the slobbery kisses, even though at least three of the dogs in his life don't give him the wet ones.
Grace, still happy to be off the vent.
Allyson - congrats on the new place! And seriously, Colin's brothers will do the moving? Canoodlian movers? Here?
Awww, beautiful Grace!
ETA and happy Noah with doggy!
Thanks, Susan!

Oh, I'm so glad I skipped right now. Not because I can see youtubes on this computer, because I can't, so lori's last post will have to wait for the home computer in order to be properly appreciated, but she was smart enough to start it with "Also", so I went back and found the pictures, and I'm all in a "he's so adorable! So cute! And so BIG! And look at her, all out! I'm always struck by how beautiful she is." and it's a lovely place to be.
lori, I can never thank you enough for being so wonderful with updating us with pictures.
And the reason I skipped? Oh, according to the Buffista Calendar, today is tommyrot's birthday.
Happy birthday, tommy! With lots of wishes for a great day and a wonderful year!
Hippo birdies, tommy!
Happy Birthday to Tommy!
I'm a bit more than groggy. I set my alarm to go outside at 2:28am for the shuttle launch. It was nifty, but then I couldn't really get back to sleep until the time I had to get up. Time for a nap.
Happy Birthday Tommy!!!
Happy birthday, tommyrot!!
